Initiations

Climb the stairway to spiritual freedom

Members of Eckankar (ECKists)
work toward higher states of
awareness through the Eckankar
initiations. Each initiation
is a true awakening. It opens
you to a whole new world of God's
Light and Sound. It also imparts
to you a new sense of spiritual
stability and strength.

The ECK initiations link Soul directly to the ECK, Divine Spirit, for spiritual
liberation in this lifetime. Each initiation is a sacred and joyous occasion
for a spiritual seeker, for it brings an ever-increasing knowledge of
and love for God. And it gives new insights into why certain things in your life
play out as they do.

Most ECKists receive their First Initiation during the
first year of membership, and it often comes in a dream.

ECKists take at least two years to explore the ECK teachings to prove to themselves what Eckankar has to offer. After two years, you may decide to make a deeper commitment to your spiritual awakening and request the Second Initiation. This initiation marks a major turning point in your spiritual life.
